Tracking the Anonymous Congressman Who Made the Request

From The Alyona Show:

In late 2008 the Bush administration rushed to do one last favor for their friends in the oil and gas industry so the Bureau of Land Management held an auction in December of 2008 to sell oil and gas drilling rights on thousands of acres of federal land.

Environmentalists weren’t pleased and activist Tim DeChristopher ended up behind bars for trying stop to this sketchy auction. He was charged with two felony counts and last July he was given a two year sentence and a $10,000 fine by a federal judge.

Rolling Stone reported last week because of an email he sent to the person who manages his finances, using the word “threat”, DeChristopher was put in isolation. But the Bureau of Prisons did this reportedly at the request of an anonymous Congressman.

So we’re asking you to get in touch with your member of Congress office and politely ask the staff to state on the record whether or not they contacted the Bureau of Prisons about DeChristopher’s letter. If so, did they ask for the bureau to implement retaliatory measures such as isolation?
